Ziggy Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) Yeti is in hospital, with a serious, and yet undiagnosed condition... I went to her crate this morning to let her out and give her breakfast, and found she'd been sick and had diarrhoea. She was quite lethargic and wouldn't touch her food. She sniffed at the water but didn't drink. I went to look up some information and vet phone number, and when I came back to her there were two puddles near her... couldn't tell which end it'd come out of... I guess, from closer inspection, it was sick rather than anything coming out of the other end... one puddle was clear... one was pink, like diluted blood... Rushed her to the vet and she's there now... vets are stabilising her (she was getting dehydrated and was in shock), and doing xrays and blood tests... they don't seem optimistic... parvo has been mentioned as a possibility, or some kind of blockage in digestive track, or it could be anything else... We're so, so upset... our little Yeti was so full of life and bounce yesterday, and this morning she is so seriously ill...

Ziggy Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Hey everybody, thank you for your kind words. Vets have confirmed its NOT parvo... which is good... but they don't know what is actually wrong with Yeti. She is stabilised with fluid, but still very ill. They're giving her antibiotic drugs and anti-viral drugs. No idea whether she will pull through or not... I'm feeling drained... will update when I get more news... Thanks again everyone.

bluekarin Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Excellent news it's not parvovirus but I do hope they find out what is wrong soon. Has she eaten something she shouldn't have? Either indoors or outside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Well it's good it's not Parvo - my monies on her having eaten something she shouldn't - hopefully that will be deal-able-with. Good luck little Yeti, we are all thinking of you xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky Mama Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Have they done anything like check for a foreign body or something called an intussusception? (this is when part of the gut telescopes into another part).te Good news that it is not Parvo and that she is stable on fluids. Fingers crossed for you.

SarahJo Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Sorry to read about Yeti - round here the dogs sometimes get a similar thing, caused by a water parasite which basically lives in the standing puddles etc. It may be worth mentioning as a Bearded Collie was very poorly like Yeti with blood in vomit etc Hugs to you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Thanks everyone for all the good wishes and the support, it's not easy waiting for news and worrying all the time. I spoke to the people at the vets, and Yeti is doing ok, though she's obviously still ill. They still don't know what's wrong with her, so they have her in isolation and are treating her as if contagious and viral. She did say that Yeti was bright and alert right now, and is eating and drinking (which is progress compared to yesterday morning). She still has diarrhoea, but there is no blood in it. However, the vet nurse also warned that when ill and put on fluid, puppies often perk up for a while, but depending on what is wrong they can then go downhill again. I'll call them again this afternoon and see if they have found anything new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Thanks for keeping us posted, that sounds like progress of a sort. Must be horrible all this waiting - she's in good hands though. Fingers Crossed. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplemaniacs Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Thanks for the update. I hope Yeti continues to improve. What an awful time for you.
